I'm watching all of your videos while doing homework because your voice and this subject is just so soothing.

@mountainroseherbs 11 лет назад

Hi there~This is a great question. It will depend on where your salve is being stored, the time of year, temperature, etc. Salves should have a shelf-life of several months to a year when kept in a cool, dry place. They could last another 6 months or so when stored in the fridge. The beeswax does help with preservation, but herbal infused oils tend to not last forever because of the botanical elements. Plus, they will lose some of their effectiveness over time. Good luck! ~Kori

this was the most concise video i have ever seen on youtube . thank you for your attention to the little details that make a difference !

@mountainroseherbs 11 лет назад

Hi there~yes, the recommendation is to use enamel, stainless steel, or glass, but not Teflon or aluminum pans for melting your oils. Thank you for stopping by! ~Kori

@nomparfait 3 года назад

I was wondering about that, thanks!

Hi @Shannon Cahill ~ Yes, once the beeswax and all the oils have melted, you remove it from the heat. Many thanks for sharing your question. Cheers! ~Kori

This salve is amazing I made the one from the learning herb kit had a horrible cold sore coming on and decided to try the salve instead of using Abreva. My cold sore healed within 2 days vs the week and a half with Abreva. My roommate loves it as well.

@dougsmith7580 3 года назад

What a great instructional video. Thank you.

@mountainroseherbs 11 лет назад

So many great questions and suggestions! You can definitely try substituting other oils, such as grapeseed. Different oils will contribute to different "shelf life" of the salve or balms, however. You might want to do a little research to see which ones might suit your storage needs. They can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Happy Creating! ~ Kori

@Morpun 13 лет назад

You sir are amazing

@mountainroseherbs 11 лет назад

Hi there Jessica, great question! I'd say the shelf life is a very long time, perhaps two-three years. Fresh is better though! So only make what you think you'll use in a reasonable amount of time. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions. -Mason

@morrielemen1081 7 лет назад

Thank you for this! I just gathered some stinkweed and I learned a lot from your video!

@christinemccauley1744 9 лет назад

This is so cool.

@chumanilakota 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@mountainroseherbs 11 лет назад

Thanks for the question, Trinh Do. The weight is going to be different depending on the ingredients used, how many containers made, etc. I am afraid it is a question I just can't accurately answer because I simply don't know. Sorry for any inconvenience! ~Kori

@chrise7508 3 года назад

Thank you for your excellent instructive videos! Can you use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs? Is one better than the other? You mentioned a video demonstrating using fresh however I cannot seem to find it on your channel!

@shusha50 3 года назад

Really happy to have come across Kori's video. He presents it in a clear, crisp way and makes it easy to understand for beginners. Will be binge watching all Mtn. Rose Herbs videos. thks for the lovely salve recipe. A quick question. Have you ever used chocolate mint to make your salves? They are robust in growth and smell divine . thanks

I'm an avid camper, hiker and gardener/landscaper and frequently come into contact with poison ivy, chiggers, biting flys and mosquitoes. On a recent hike someone in the group mentioned Jewelweed when another hiker decided to lean against some poison oak (doh!). Curious, I looked up Jewelweed. Seemed interesting enough, Well, just this last weekend I was hiking, had a mosquito bite making itself known and decided to find some Jewelweed. Seemed rather abundant actually! I rubbed the mosquito bite with it and not only did the itch immediately go away, it never came back! So, think I'm going to go collect some Jewelweed in abundance and use this video to make a poison ivy salve! I live in an area where we have more Farmer's Markets then you could visit in a day so maybe...just maybe...their is some money to be made at this as well? :)

@echandler673 3 года назад

Great video! Is there a certain temperature I have to keep under when adding the essential oil to the salve so it won't degrade the properties of it? I heard you are supposed to keep them cool, that is why I ask.

@fohowbahamas9829 5 лет назад

If you need to blend oil and more water based liquids, sometimes you can use a small amount of sunflower lecithin or another type. I like to use sunflower. You have to soak the lecithin granules in the liquid for about an hour before you use it in the mix.

@rosalynfreeman3382 6 лет назад

Love all your videos!! Can you please give me a recipe to make trauma oil?

@DarylHDragonFireTinderbox 9 лет назад

I like that you are only heating the infused oil as little as necessary to blend.

@DarylHDragonFireTinderbox 9 лет назад

We are very happy with your products. Thank you.

@Tennethums1 10 лет назад

Quick question(s). I made the Jewelweed Salve (it's incredible!) and have distributed it to several friends and family for "testing" (not just it's effectiveness - which seems to be undeniably effective - but also in the packaging, name and pricing, etc.). The first problem is the melting issue. Is this just a matter of the amount of beeswax used? Maybe I used too little? I also used Coconut Oil instead of Olive Oil. Is this more prone to melting? It didn't seem to be as it was solid when I bought it. I actually like that it melts fairly easily (running your finger around the surface vigorously heats it up enough to begin melting it) as the melted form is easier to apply to large areas. BUT! This is obviously something that needs to be refrigerated not only to prolong the life of it but also to maintain its solid state. Any ideas on the melting issue?

@noraz8291 4 года назад

Thank you; what if I wanted to use alcohol-based calendula extract; how much of it could a cup of oil+beeswax take, to be vulnerary?

@wiccanspirit12 13 лет назад

i like this video :) very nice

@Nuru305 14 лет назад

@mountainroseherbs Thank you so much for answering.

@trinhdo1993 11 лет назад

Hi, I really love this video, I just have a question regarding to the formula in this video, what is the quantity compounded for this product (i mean the total weight of all products in small jar, and little containers). Thanks

@wendyreeves956 8 лет назад

how long does the beeswax take to melt? Im doing this with a school garden class and need to plan out the timing. Thanks!

@serena1232 4 года назад

Hi do jars need to be sterilized or washed at all before using? I have a case of unopened jars from the pack I’m wondering if I need to sterilize.

@DesertMoonBathNBody 11 лет назад

Would this be a good recipe for baby butt balm to help protect too? Thanks.

@inthemindofwords 9 лет назад

Once the beeswax melts, do you shut off the stove and then mix the oil or do you leave the boiler on until the oil is nicely mixed?

@mamayates1 7 лет назад

Shouldn't you wait to add essential oil till salve oil has cooled a bit...?

@eyekey346 4 года назад

What size are these containers? Also, if you wanted to add shea butter what would be the ratio for bees wax to butter to infused oil? Thanks!

@ilovegaonouvang3865 11 лет назад

hi i want to know that can i use the camphor, borneo and menthol to make the salve or not ? also which ingredient is better ? please let me know about that.

@ZebbiBibi 9 лет назад

Thank you for this great video. The oil is a beautiful colour. Did the colour change because of the Comfrey or was it originally like that before infusion?

@kohakuaiko 7 лет назад

ZebbiBibi it was the comfrey. I watch the other video.

@jackarmstrong4051 3 года назад

what can i add to my oils to make more of a lotion consistency?

@DomDaddyGrowler 11 лет назад

yes. it's what I used.

@locateli615 4 года назад

To make smaller batch, is it okay to boil say... 1 tbsp oil and 1tablespoon dried herb powder?

@cdsky3 11 лет назад

Thank you for your reply, and I guess that leads me into my next question then: How do you know if your salve has expired? Does it start to smell rancid? Or does the color change? Again, Thank you!

@shughes6148 6 лет назад

so what can you add to this for aches and pain?

@rbee9759 4 года назад

Hi @mountainroseherbs , can this salve be used for cleansing?

@Playlist00000000001 12 лет назад

Would it be helpful to the salve if you put it in a refrigerator for quicker cooling or would that ruin the salve?

@marilynwalsh7957 2 года назад

How do you keep salve from separating while it is setting up?

@kellieborriello9028 2 года назад

Can I use Neem Oil as a substitute for the Comfry Oil?

@starshock01 13 лет назад

i noticed the tins you were using and was wondering if you bought them online? i normally use an altoids round tin because its convenient but a smaller tin would be alot easier to carry

@PTate 8 лет назад

If i wanted to make a muscle salve with turmeric and cayenne could I add the powder while it's melted over the heat?

@sin90950 7 лет назад

hi you could infused both in oil , different containers will be great.

@mountainroseherbs 11 лет назад

You can find beeswax on our Mountain Rose Herbs web site in various weights and sizes! ~Kori

@OhGunninEmDown 12 лет назад

hello, how secure are the lids to the containers? so they snap securely or is it twisted shut?

@winesoaked 12 лет назад

How do you clean your pyrex pitcher of the leftover salve? I can imagine it might be difficult getting the bits of wax off...

@deanna4814 7 лет назад

I made some Goldenrod infused oil and some lemon balm and infused oil would it be okay to mix them together to make a salve

@mountainroseherbs 7 лет назад

Hi Dee, Yes! It's definitely OK to mix them together. Let us know how your salve turns out. Good luck! ~Melissa

@deanna4814 7 лет назад

I will thanks

@DarylV08 7 лет назад

Can this be used daily as a lip balm?

@chrisvlasic6166 11 лет назад

great tutorial- thank you. I know this is medicinal, but could you maybe make one using shea butter and yummy scents for maybe the holidays. Where do we even get this stuff? Who would you recommend?

@bonzaibb12 14 лет назад

Could beetroot powder be added to this to make a natural colored lip gloss ? Thanks for the video I like the label idea its wonderful for gift making.

@mackat888 12 лет назад

Omg! I have that measuring cup! :D

@radiantdesignpermaculture5121 2 года назад

Do I have to dry the plant before infusing?

@MoonWhispererBoy 11 лет назад

Hi , i have a question , are those salves same as comfortable as using another cream or something? i mean if they absorb well.

@LoLiTaViSoN 13 лет назад

about how much time would you say it takes for the salves to solidify in the containers before they can be used?

@Jenn-jj6eu 11 лет назад

This is great! Where do you get your containers from?

@landenew 3 года назад

I'm planning on doing this with creosote

@mountainroseherbs 14 лет назад

@Nuru305 Hello, You can definitely experiment with butters for this recipe or waxes like carnuba and candelilla to help produce a firm textured salve. Using butters may produce a lotion. Whatever base you use will change the consistency a bit, but the medicinal properties of the herbal oils will still be helpful. Thanks for the great question! ~Erin

@catherinesavoy8054 3 года назад

How could I turn marshmallow root & leaves into a liquid such as this to begin turning it into a salve?

@rellazella4043 6 лет назад

Can this be made with other waxes? Or just bee's wax?

@hannahcuster646 10 лет назад

Thank you So much for the wonderful videos!!! By heating the herb infused oil, though still effective, does heating reduce it's effectiveness, as it would with like raw honey or garlic if at too high of a temp? Also Do you have any books you sell or highly recommend?

@mountainroseherbs 9 лет назад

Hi Hannah~Thanks so much for checking in with us! Gently heating the oil does not reduce it's effectiveness, but you can always let it extract and infuse at room temperature over time too. We do offer many wonderful books on our website at mountain rose herbs (dot) com. We appreciate your support! ~Kori

@kelithyn 5 лет назад

Hello - I tried to read all of the comments and I didn't SEE this question (mainly because I'm assuming it's a silly one) but I may have overlooked it lol If I only have 4oz of oil, can I use 1/2 oz of beeswax and cut the recipe in half? I wasn't sure if it would mess up the formula.

@marysullivan6136 10 лет назад

love you herb videos and your products. Can I add tea tree oil to it

@mountainroseherbs 10 лет назад

Hi Mary~Sure! ~Kori

@kaylabug0719 2 года назад

@cdsky3 11 лет назад

Hi! Thank you for your wonderful tutorial videos, they are very helpful. Quick question: You say at the end 'to last long put in the fridge,' What is the shelf life of this and other salve that oil and beeswax infused? I wonder this for in AND out of the fridge :) Thank you!
